The Wizard was a human male who was very adept at using magic. He was the father of Rose and Velvet, though he never acted as such. He also is the grandfather of the Fourth Overlord (The Overlad).He is the Second Overlord's body replacement.
History
Earlier in his life he had two children, Rose and Velvet.
He is said to have constantly trotted the globe seeking to root out evil wherever it dwelt. He assembled a group of heroes each with their own unique traits to defeat possibly his arch nemesis the so-called "Second Overlord". Although they succeed with the help of an unexpected ally — the 8th hero who simply turned up on their travels and apparently showed desires to aid them (eventually becoming the next Overlord). The task cost the Wizard's body control as he was attempting to examine the old Overlord's corpse for any signs of life, the almost dead Overlord's spirit emerged from the corpse and possessed the Wizard, "overwriting" his soul,but not totally,because of him referring to Velvet and Rose as he knew them personally before,probably he's influenced by the Original Wizard Soul,having some kind of control,but overwhelmed by the second Overlord's Corruption
Overlord
The Second Overlord used the Wizard's body to corrupt the remaining heroes. It should be mentioned that the Wizard is seen before the final act in the Golden Hills where the dwarves have gathered in an establishment similar to a pub. He crosses over the walkway as a cinematic showing the area plays. After the Overlord kills
The Wizard,sits on The Third Overlord's Throne.
the heroes (excluding Jewel, who was instead imprisoned) he returns to the Dark Tower and attempts to overthrow the Overlord. However Rose or Velvet manages to damage the Tower Heart and the Wizard (the Second Overlord, actually) loses control over the Overlord's minions. During the final battle, he fights the Overlord with his own army of minions and the ability to summon tornadoes. He is then killed by the Overlord. However, it is possible that the Second Overlord has possessed Jester's body as shown in a cutscene in the ending with Gnarl saying, "But, evil will always find a way".
Personality and Traits
The Wizard was not a very fatherly man, and obsessed with wiping out evil, in the end paying a hefty price. It could also be said that he represented the sin of Pride, his obsession bringing his downfall(actually being the Second Overlord). As the Second Overlord, he openly boasted about how he corrupted the other heroes, showcasing his pride. The lines he mutters as the player face him in the final battle sequence clearly present how he corrupted other heroes.
"Have another roast pig Melvin...have two...you are Hero now."
"Have rest Oberon, heroes need their rest"
"I think she likes you sir William, if you want to slip away with her, I won't tell anyone."
"Goldo you can have all the gold you've ever wanted, my friend! No one refuse anything to a hero."
"The Jewel had everything, it turned out what she wanted was what other people had."
"Hard to see what you love taken away, isn't it Khan? When reason is gone, nothing is left but madness!"
Behind the Scenes
It is likely that the Wizard was modelled after Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.
